Hi all, we’ve been back and forth with Zoom to fix the chat issue - even though the settings are correct meeting participants have been unable to chat to the whole group. It’s been very frustrating to get Zoom to fix this issue! In the meantime send me your chat messages for the whole group and I’ll reshare as they come in.

From Renee: Thanks to Claire for her clarification on endowments

From Cathy DeWitt: We did write a grant almost as soon as I got here, to procure a grand piano for the lobby. That was very important. Funded by the Children's Miracle Network. As was pointed out, grantors are much more likely to pay for equipment than for people. So we had several volunteer pianists.

From Elaine Sims: What about Boards as partners in raising money?

From Cathy DeWitt: Can people say where they are located? Like Robin and Muzi?

Claire, a participant has asked if these points that you’re speaking of can be posted in the chat. As an alternative, the recording can be re-watched later - it will be posted within 24 hours to the member resources section of the NOAH website.

Participant Robin from ComMotion - Community in Motion is in Raleigh, NC

From Elaine Sims: The fact that so many programs survived Covid 19 is really encouraging for the field!

From Cathy DeWitt: Establishing relationships establishes our value.

From Cathy DeWitt: Thanks!

From Barbara Steinhaus: In just listening it seems that more education could be done, through relationship building, with leaders, admins, and MDs.

From Elizabeth Coplan: I would love to talk about sharing Grant opportunities at some point.
